Painted base for MG Aile Strike RM

Hello All, getting started on my first kit of 2025. It's the GM Aile Strike RM. I'm going to try and really step up my game for painting. Experimenting with pre-shading on the base.

I still have more to do, topcoat, panel lines, weathering, etc.

Let me know what you think and what I can improve on.

Also, post some of your bases! Would love to see what you all have done.

Thanks! Jason
